[. . . ] Preface The Acer ADSL Surf PCI Manual This manual contains information regarding the installation, operation, and configuration of the Z120 Modem. The following chapters are included in this manual: Chapter 1 : " Overview " offers a brief description of ADSL, protocol , device and driver selection , . device installation. Chapter 2 : Device installation and system requirements Chapter 3 : NDISLAN (RFC1483) Driver for Win95 , Win98FE, Win98SE, WinME, WinXP, Win2K and WinNT 5 Installation Guide and User Manual Chapter 1 : Overview About ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology provides high-speed data access across regular phone lines (copper wires) by making use of previously unused frequency bandwidth above the voice band. By placing the ADSL signal above the frequency of the voice signal, ADSL service is able to coexist on the same line with your telephone service. ADSL is asymmetric in the sense that it provides a higher data rate in the downstream (receive) direction than in the upstream (transmit) direction. [. . . ] There are several standard types of ADSL modulation techniques including Discrete Multi-tone (DMT) and Carrier-less Amplitude and Phase (CAP). The Acer ADSL Surf PCI Modem capable of supporting the following DSL standards: ITU G. 992. 1 (G. DMT) (Annex A, Annex B), ITU G. 992. 2 (G. LITE), ANSI T1. 413 Issue 2 and ETSI TR328. Protocol and Device Driver Selection ADSL modems employ ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) framing. ATM is a protocol that divides packets into small fixed sized cells for rapid transmission over high-speed networks. The ATM protocol allows various types of traffic (e. g. data, voice, and video) to be securely and efficiently carried over the same network. ATM is being widely deployed by telecommunications carriers in their backbone networks. Two type of ATM connections are possible, PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) and SVC (Switched Virtual Circuit). Several different protocols are used on top of ATM. The protocol required in your configuration depends on the equipment deployed by your DSL service provider. Point to Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM (RFC 2364) - PPP provides session setup, user authentication (login), and encapsulation for upper layer protocols such as IP (Internet Protocol). The use of PPP makes the modem appear as a dial modem to the operating system. Replace the computer cover and power cord. Your system will automatically detect the card you have just installed and Windows will display a message that it is searching for an appropriate device driver. Follow the procedure as shown beginning on chapter 3 in order to install the appropriate device drivers.

Consult your service provider for the appropriate PPPoE client software and related documentation. VPI, VCI, and other specifications, can be configured via DSLMON GUI or during installation of software drivers. The following instructions apply for Windows 98, 98SE, ME, XP and 2000.
